Hi

I am looking to buy this Burny FTV-50M this guy has for sale. It looks great but the headstock makes me worry, it might be a fake. Or a modified Burny from China or Korea. The logo is painted on (but really convincing), and I am think they may have used inlays back then, but I am not sure. Will you check it out for me?

Looks like one on the early seventies Burny FTVs to me, the logo was just silk screened and they're a copy of the specials. Never seen a fake one yet as I'd imagine they'd cost more to fake than they probably sell for tbh.

From the look of the tuners that's one of the bolt on neck FTV50's, the FTV90 had the grover style tuners and a set neck. The other FTV45 (bolt on) and FTV80 (set neck) were the single pup DC Junior copies.
